I looked at quafin, but the urban dictionary gives: when your boys get to hype and start talking reckless. That may indeed turn out to be an appropriate name. At BofA Peter Carr came up with the name QED for our group: Quantitative Equity Derivatives. qedlib.com is available, but this library is not only about equity derivatives.Maybe naflib? It reflects the layers of the project numerics, analytics, and finance. I call my homegrown library fms - finance, mathematics, software. One thing I think should definitely go in the charter is 'eschew complexity'. It is a constant struggle to keep things simple. Let's to stick to a tight, clean core and provide a mechanism for people to fork off on their own, see how things work out, then fold the good stuff back into the core. Hg and git seem to be good choices for doing this.

outrun,Agreed, QED is too spacy.My vote goes definitely to naflib.

My very humble opinion from a non computer guy. Naflib sounds a bit weird.

Well you point the thing. Naflib sounds really like Nafnaflib which is more a name for a piggy gay library (cause of Nafnaf the clothes in pink). I was thinking about Fanlib but it sounds really like a teenager fan club. The keywords are good though Finance/Numerics and Analytics. FiNumAnLib sounds like a superhero name

another possibility for name may be FinaLib. I could not found another metion of it, and finalib.org is also available

How about QuantAnalytics, OptionToolkit or QuantToolkit?

excuse me gents, but when I first spawned this thread, wasn´t quite thinking about "vaporware", we have indeed seen many amazing ideas, concepts, theories and highly remarkable consideratios ( in Latin ) about q-development, hardly any code at all.....did anyone else left this thread to join Kooderive?Serp,

@Serp: Sorry sir, my mistake. You are right project first, code second and then the name and not the contrary. My 2c opinion would do that you could do things that quantlib doesn't. For example I'm not sure if the characteristic function FFT pricing method for Levy process is implemented in quantlib.
